How to Prepare Zucchini Fritters With Lemon Basil Cashew Cream [Vegan]

  1. Prepare a "flax egg" by mixing flaxseeds and water and let sit 5-10 minutes until thickened.
  2. Place zucchini in a colander set in the sink and toss with 1/2 teaspoons salt. Let stand 10 minutes, then wring zucchini dry in a clean kitchen towel. Place zucchini in a large bowl and gently mix in flax egg, flour, chives, and arrowroot powder; season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in 2 batches, drop 1/4-cupfuls zucchini mixture into skillet, flattening slightly; cook until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer fritters to a paper towel–lined plate; season with salt. Serve with lemon basil cashew cream.
  4. For cashew cream, combine all ingredients together in a high-speed blender, and blend until smooth.
